Is this Rose McGowan confronting a heckler or breaking down in a transphobic rage? [video]

Actress Rose McGowan has a new book to promote, but she’s reportedly canceled all public appearances after a run-in with a transgender heckler at a New York City Barnes & Noble store Wednesday night.

I am canceling upcoming public appearances because I have given enough. I have given beauty, in return I was VERBALLY ASSAULTED for two full minutes @BNBuzz by an actor paid to verbally assault a woman who has been terrorized by your system. And no ONE in that room did anything

This is disgusting for #RoseMcGowan to do this to another woman. She should have allowed her to speak and have a dialogue between the two. Silencing women is not going to solve anything. This perfectly highlights everything wrong with cis female white feminism. https://t.co/oNTcHsWYI3

.@rosemcgowan you need to take some responsibility for the hypocritical white feminism you displayed here. dismissing trans women's problems because cis white women have problems too is not advocacy – it's gaslighting and it's abusive. https://t.co/UwyOnNLqKp

This is gross. How can she think she's being progressive when she just spoke over a trans woman. If your feminism doesn't include trans women then your feminism is ugly and I don't want it. Listen to your trans sisters. They hurt more than you do. Use your privelage to help them https://t.co/07EiWaZauP

what kills me is the applause at the end, and Rose accepting it as her due. This is not the feminism I know and put my own writing and marching behind. Modern feminism listens to women of color and trans women. It's time to apologize. https://t.co/NaO1XXSP5n

For the record, the Women’s March seems to agree that McGowan was being transphobic.

Please read this interview with the activist who engaged with Rose McGowan last night. Transphobia and denying trans women’s identities is never okay. The pain we feel does not excuse the pain we cause others. https://t.co/9rtdmzngUa
